Being Superman is no easy job. Flying across planets, being extremely focused that you could differentiate between calls from 911 emergencies and fans, fighting with otherworldly superheroes, and living a double life at times. It's indeed an extremely demanding job. Well, when you play this larger-than-life (or universe, so to say) character, you have to look the part. Especially, if you are debuting as Superman, when the whole world is yet to get over the irresistible Henry Cavill, the pressure is even more!

Celebrity trainer Paolo Mascitti has guided David Corenswet to become Superman.
James Gunn, of course, has a 'specific vision' for the project and according to Mascitti, the new Superman has been
working out intensively even before he met him. "He’s naturally a very lean guy. He’s 6’4” but we wanted to put more bulk on him. He probably went from 200lbs to 240lbs, but some of that mass will be shed as he continues to tone up,” Mascitti told GQ.

Since the new superman was on a busy schedule, Mascitti could only fit in three or four sessions every week. However, Corenswet ensured he is
working out for two hours a day.

Mascitti customized a regimen for Corenswet. He added presses, pull-ups, pull-downs, rows - all big ones. Later they shifted focus to progressive overload to build muscles. The reps and weights, of course, advanced each week.
Mascitti also shared a brief of the Superman workout.
